Davis Duty (‘28, NC) • RHP • Uncommitted • 6’5” 185lb


FB: 84mph

CB: 70mph

CH: 76mph


4 IP / 4 H / 2 R / 2 BB / 4 K


Duty was able to set the tone for his team in the run rule win against the opposition. This lanky RHP, and his deceptive delivery have a lot of upside as he continues to mature. His compact stroke into a long finish made him very effective in his start helping him create a lot of weak contact. His arm angle and good tunneling makes it difficult for hitters to square up the baseball. Definitely an arm that is worth following as there will be a velo increase as he fills out his 6’5 frame.
